The opulent ballroom glitters under a thousand points of candlelight, gold leaf gleaming with each flickering flame as the hollow laughter of nobles echoes off polished marble pillars. Leona Kingschaler stands stiffly at your side, his lion ears pinned back against his skull, his tail sweeping in one slow, deliberate, and agitated arc.

Then those piercing green eyes finally meet yours, narrowing. "Fix your face."
